Cycle and Demographic Parameters of Ephestia cautella Walker (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) on Shea Kernels

Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Ephestia cautella W. (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) is an insect pest associated with shea kernels that causes significant damage to stored products. In Burkina Faso, no study has been conducted to assess the biological effects on E. cautella after exposure to shea kernels, and therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate this.

Estragole-rich essential oil of summer savory (Satureja hortensis L.) as an eco-friendly alternative to the synthetic insecticides in management of two stored-products insect pests

Acta Agriculturae Slovenica, 2020
The lesser grain borer [Rhyzopertha dominica (Fabricius, 1792)] and the red flour beetle [Tribolium castaneum (Herbst, 1797)] are among the cosmopolitan damaging pests on several stored-products.

Phosphine‐induced walking response of the lesser grain borer (Rhyzopertha dominica)

Pest Management Science, 2012
AbstractBACKGROUND: In spite of the intensive worldwide use of phosphine against stored‐product insects, its potential sublethal effects on targeted insect species is seldom recognised and may compromise the efficacy of this fumigant, particularly against phosphine‐resistant insects.

Sustainable Maize Storage Technology Adoption in Ghana: Implications for Postharvest Losses, Farm Income, and Income Inequality

Food and Energy Security, Volume 13, Issue 5, September/October 2024.
ABSTRACT The Purdue Improved Crop Storage (PICS) bag, a sustainable post‐harvest storage technology, can address the high postharvest losses that are a major threat to economic development, food security and the environment in Africa. However, there is limited empirical research on this technology.

Copper nanoparticles interfere with insecticide sensitivity, fecundity and endosymbiont abundance in olive fruit fly Bactrocera oleae (Diptera: Tephritidae)

Pest Management Science, Volume 80, Issue 7, Page 3640-3649, July 2024.
Copper nanoparticles (Cu‐NPs) enhance deltamethrin's insecticidal action, interfere with endosymbiont abundance and, adversely affect Bactrocera oleae reproduction potential. Note: Delta, deltamethrin; Cu‐NPs, copper nanoparticles; CuO‐NPs, copper oxide nanoparticles; Cu(OH)2, copper hydroxide. Abstract BACKGROUND The potential of copper nanoparticles (

Development, application and evaluation of three novel TaqMan qPCR assays for phosphine resistance monitoring in major stored product pests Tribolium castaneum and Rhyzopertha dominica

Pest Management Science, Volume 80, Issue 2, Page 275-281, February 2024.
Molecular diagnostics of phosphine resistance in different stored product insects. Abstract BACKROUND Stored product protection from insect pests relies heavily on the use of phosphine. The most serious drawback of phosphine is the development of resistance in major stored product insects worldwide, including the red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum ...
